NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sdl-image1.2 package and not the sdl-image1.2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the LWZReadByte function in IMG_gif.c in SDL_image before 1.2.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF file, a similar issue to CVE-2006-4484. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
